This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive headfirst into the bizarre world of fake fitness—literally. From prop dumbbells to questionable silicone workout toys (yes, we’re looking at you, Dill Bell), we’re calling out the ridiculous trends that somehow keep going viral. But between the laughs and side-eyes, we’re also asking the real question: Why is there still so much resistance to picking up actual heavy weights? We talk about the physical and mental benefits of strength trainin...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara accidentally stumble into one of the most heated debates in podcast history: is it pronounced niche like quiche … or niche like witch ? What starts as a tangent about sexual wellness (don’t ask) turns into a full-blown pronunciation showdown—with hot mic confessions, unsolicited Google searches, and a deeply scientific breakdown involving oat milk, kettlebells, and chaotic beauty. It’s six minutes of completely unplanned, entirely unnecessary, a...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go full FBI mode on the fitness industry. We’re talking fake dumbbells, sketchy transformation pics, shady supplement companies, and influencers who conveniently forget to mention they’re on medication while selling you their latest program. From photoshopped abs to “pain-relieving” T-shirts, it’s a wild ride through the smoke and mirrors of wellness content online. Also, Caleigh cut off all her hair, our office plant has died (RIP), and Sara ma...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go completely off the rails with a chaotic bonus episode of “Would You Rather” – and yes, it gets weird. From choosing between eating live crickets or earthworms to debating the pros and cons of hair for teeth (why is this a thing?!), we’re asking the important questions no one else is brave enough to tackle. We also discuss whether we’d rather gain 100 pounds or lose 15 inches of height, if burpees should be illegal, and why Caleigh thinks mush...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara go shaker-to-shaker in the ultimate protein shake showdown. From mix ratios to mouthfeel (yes, we said it), we're taste-testing what happens when your post-workout shake leans more pudding than pourable. Caleigh’s got thoughts, Sara’s got protein math, and poor Allen is just trying to survive his first shake ever. We’re breaking down the great water-to-powder debate and daring to ask: do you sip it, shoot it, or… spit it back out? Join us for me...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into one of the most misunderstood concepts in nutrition: the difference between eating healthy and eating for weight loss. We talk about how your personality—whether you're more of a "cook" or a "baker"—can shape your approach to fitness and nutrition, and why that actually matters when you're setting goals. We also get into journaling (of both the food and feelings variety), Gusher confessionals, banana girth (this again?), and how someti...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara decide to start with a wall sit… and things spiral from there. What begins as a test of leg strength turns into an unplanned, chaotic 5-minute bodyweight workout, complete with heart rate spikes, drywall damage, and Caleigh nearly passing out in jeans. We laugh (a lot), learn that jumping jacks aren’t for the faint of pelvic floor, and talk about how just a few minutes of intentional movement a day can make a difference. Spoiler alert: you don’t...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara tackle a hot (and kind of mushy) topic: oatmeal. Is it the worst thing you can feed your kids for breakfast, or is it just the internet’s latest nutrition scapegoat? We break down a controversial video claiming oatmeal is a breakfast disaster and dive into why context (and what you pair it with) actually matters. Sara nerds out over macros, Caleigh reveals her Cinnamon Toast Crunch weakness, and both of us go deep on flavored oatmeal nostalgia, ...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into the absurd world of social media nutrition “experts,” where apparently if “protein” isn’t listed in the ingredients, it simply doesn’t exist. We break down a viral video claiming Fairlife shakes have zero protein (yes, really), and talk about how misinformation is messing with people's heads. We also unpack what ingredient lists actually mean, the difference between nutrition facts and macros, and how unrealistic physique expectations ...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are diving into the lunchbox—and the internet comment section. After stumbling across a viral post celebrating a very processed kid’s lunch, we found ourselves asking: when did feeding our kids turn into a participation trophy? We’re not here to shame anyone (we’ve served our kids ramen while editing nutrition episodes), but we are questioning why “fed is best” has become the final word on food. From school lunches to Uncrustables, chocolate mil...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara sit down with registered dietitian and coach Andres Ayesta for a refreshingly honest conversation about what really drives our fitness goals. We dig into why goals like “toning up” or “losing weight” often fall flat, how to spot red flags in the coaching space, and why chasing surface-level outcomes can actually pull you further from what you really want. Andres shares how to reframe your health goals based on your values, build sustainable habi...

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are diving into a conversation that hits way closer to home than most of us like to admit—disordered eating. We’re not talking full-blown eating disorders here. We're talking about the ways so many of us have been conditioned to see food as "good" or "bad," to feel guilt for having a cookie, or to obsess over eating “clean.” Our amazing guest co-host Jodi Dolo from Mindful Muscle joins us for a raw and honest chat about the toxic narratives arou...

This week, we’re talking about how one bad night of sleep can derail everything—from your cravings to your workouts to your entire will to live. Sara opens up about her recent surgery, neck brace drama, and recovery journey (no, she didn’t get injured doing a backflip at the gym—she just slept wrong, okay?). We also dive into tips from Dr. Andy Galpin on how to take back control when your sleep fails you. Spoiler: it involves more protein than you’d ever expect. Plus, we debate protein shake tex...

Sara might not know how to say hypertrophy (seriously, someone help her out), but she definitely knows how to train for it. This week, we’re breaking down what hypertrophy actually is ( spoiler: it’s muscle growth, not a trophy for being hyper ), how to train for it, and why you won’t accidentally wake up looking like a bodybuilder. Caleigh, on the other hand, is just here to ask the real questions—like, do we actually get a trophy for this? Along the way, we’re talking about how many sets and r...

We all like to think we’re getting good sleep—until the data tells us otherwise. This week, Sara and Caleigh dive into sleep tracking, recovery scores, and the shocking impact alcohol has on sleep quality. After a weekend of drinks, one of them woke up to a 28% recovery score —yikes! Can tracking your sleep habits actually change your behavior?

Fat loss isn’t as simple as “I want this area to shrink, so I’ll just do some crunches.” In this episode, we break down the reality of fat loss—how it happens, where it happens, and why you always seem to fixate on that one stubborn spot. Sara brings her years of fitness expertise to explain why you can’t choose where fat leaves first, and Caleigh shares her relatable struggle of taking progress pics that feel more like a humbling experience than a motivational one. Whether you’re deep into your...

If you’ve been on social media in the last year, you’ve probably heard about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. But what’s it really like to take them? This week, we’re joined by our friend Lindsay Epp , who shares her firsthand experience using a GLP-1 medication, including the highs, lows, and unexpected changes along the way.

From the relentless push of milk to the low-fat craze of the ’90s, we’re breaking down how big industries shaped what we were told to eat. Are we smarter about nutrition today, or are we still fa...

Aging is inevitable, but how we age is (mostly) up to us! This week, we’re diving into longevity —how strength, balance, and mobility play a crucial role in staying active and independent as we get older. Caleigh and Sara put themselves to the test (literally!) with common longevity assessments to see how they stack up. Can they sit and stand without using their hands? How strong is their grip? And in a shocking twist, who do you think crushed the push-up test and who got stuck on the floor? (Sp...
